In a hardtop vehicle roof with at least two rigid roof parts arranged in a closed position in the longitudinal vehicle direction one behind another such that they cover an interior vehicle space and, in an open position, one of the roof sections extends upwardly behind the interior vehicle space so as to form a wind deflector while the other roof parts are disposed in a rear storage compartment, a trunk lid extends over the rear storage compartment in such a way that, with the roof opened, a gap is formed between the front end of the trunk lid and a front wall of the rear storage compartment through which the roof part forming the wind deflector projects upwardly behind the interior vehicle space.

Hardtop vehicle roof with rigid roof parts

In a hardtop vehicle roof which is movable between a closed position, in which it covers a vehicle interior, and a storage position and which includes rigid roof shells which, in the closed position, are disposed end to end adjacent one another, at least one of the roof shells includes a center section and side sections which are pivotally connected to the center section and the center sections are displaced in the storage position of the roof shells upwardly relative to the respective side sections so as to be received within one of the roof shells thereby to reduce the volume required for the storage of the roof shells in the storage position thereof.
